@tzimmer_history I remember having a similar hope around Obama's "A More Perfect Union" speech in 2008. Despite the overwhelmingly positive response it received and the ways it shifted the conversation within the party, in retrospect it was probably the liberal's furthest advance towards a true reckoning. Back then, it gave me some hope. Now it's too little too late. Just my 2¢, but you're totally right, it is a notable shift for Biden.
If you'd like to do something for me for my birthday, would you please reply to this with—or by other means send me— something with colors you liked? Like an image or a video or a link. Music would also be acceptable if it gives you a strong synesthesiac association with color.
If this request confuses you, here are some examples of images with colors I found striking [Artists: Laurie Barmore, Vian Borchert, Erica Aurahack]. But your reply can be whatever colors you like.
This is pretty damn amazing. Reading letters no one has seen in 1950 years. Our increasing (and good!) awareness of all the world’s hardships makes it easy to forget that we also live in a time of wonders. https://scrollprize.org/firstletters

Pondering what reusable governance tools built for communities (and/or commons?) look like, specifically in contrast to licenses, which are often individualistic (especially in the culture space).
A lot of what I'm thinking about would probably be encapsulated in a license → governance mindset shift: static → dynamic; individualist → collective. But not all?
